Enterprise AI is increasingly connected to sensitive data, business applications, APIs, and automated workflows. But the security controls surrounding these systems are not always keeping pace. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that 13% of organizations experienced breaches involving AI models or applications, and 97% of those organizations lacked proper AI access controls.

Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. In this edition we talk about the biggest tension in tech right now, which isn't building AI faster but surviving the security shortcuts taken to launch it and discover how smart teams can rewrite the play-book on governance.

On Patch Tuesday in January 2023, Microsoft fixed a privilege escalation flaw in afd.sys, the Windows driver behind the Winsock networking interface. Two IBM X-Force researchers who had never worked with that driver compared the old and new versions of the file and had a working exploit for Windows 11 in about a day. China's 360 IceSword Lab later reported finding the same flaw already exploited in the wild that month.

On October 21, 2026, PHP fixed two critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaws, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. CISA added both to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on October 26th. The real fix is upgrading PHP and restarting every worker process. But many Windows servers can’t do that yet: the vendor hasn’t certified the new version, the PHP branch is end-of-life, or nobody knows whether a PHP copy exists inside an old application.

We need to face a bitter truth: Most security awareness training out there just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. Year after year, companies worldwide pour billions into all sorts of training programs, posters, and click-through modules, yet phishing click incident rates stubbornly persist with no sign of them fading away any time soon. So, what are we missing? According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, the human element is involved in 62% of breaches.

Enterprise networks host a variety of devices, from workstations and VoIP phones to printers and IoT devices. Each group may have different network configuration requirements, making it increasingly difficult to maintain consistent settings as the network grows. Microsoft DHCP policies help address this challenge by evaluating attributes in DHCP requests and applying configurations based on defined conditions.

Somewhere in your fleet sits a laptop with a pristine, 100% compliance score. Not because it’s running the latest patches, but because it hasn’t talked to the server in three weeks, and a device that never checks in can’t exactly fail an audit, right? IT teams now manage more endpoints outside the office than inside it.

Imagine that your device data and ticket live in two separate rooms within the same building. Your device already has the performance metrics needed to explain the problem—yet, just to make sense of the ticket, your help desk tech still has to walk into the first room, find the data, and carry it back to the ticket room for analysis. This journey, repeated across every single ticket, is what’s quietly costing your IT team.

CAPTCHAs are designed to distinguish humans from automated systems. A user types distorted letters or clicks a few crosswalks, and in doing so proves there is a human behind the keyboard rather than a script. The whole idea rests on one assumption: A human, unlike a bot, will pause and think for a moment before acting. ClickFix takes that assumption and turns it into the attack itself. The fake verification screen does not ask the user to prove they are human by thinking.

A suspicious login, an unexpected privilege change, and a surge in file downloads may reach your security team as separate alerts. Understanding whether they belong to the same attack requires context. For your IT and security operations teams, connecting these signals takes time. If you're a CIO or CTO, that delay can increase your exposure to operational disruption and data loss. AI threat detection helps you analyze security activity, identify suspicious patterns, and prioritize investigations.

Phase one of the CA/Browser Forum's reduced certificate validity mandate is already live. By March 2029, public CA certificate renewal frequencies will be up to eight times higher. The mandate effectively sets a minimum bar for certificate management. You need full visibility into every certificate in your environment, automatic renewal workflows that can handle a much higher frequency without manual effort, and deployment that gets the renewed certificate live at the target server along with the necessary post-deployment actions. ManageEngine Key Manager Plus covers all three of these facets.

At the opening bell, your stock drops fifteen percent due to a data breach that never actually happened. Fake screenshots, a fake CEO statement, no actual hack. Your security team looks into it, but finds nothing because there's nothing to find. And the damage is already done. Gartner is calling disinformation attacks like this a top threat, and most companies aren’t prepared to handle it. For more insightful videos, visit ManageEngine Insights.

Imagine this: A cracked installer disguised as a productivity tool. An oversized file quietly eating into storage. An EXE attachment that never should have made it past the browser. Without a download policy in place, there's nothing stopping this from happening on any device—for any client at any time.

Standing exceptions to your application control policy are exactly that—standing. Once you allow an app or lift a restriction, it usually stays open indefinitely, whether or not it's still needed. In this tutorial, we cover how to configure just-in-time (JIT) application access in MSP Central. Learn how to grant temporary, rule-based access to specific applications so users get what they need for a limited window, without leaving permanent access behind.

Although a user syncing corporate passwords to a personal cloud account isn't the same as a malicious attack, it is still a massive security risk. When everyday browser features like autofill, third-party cookies, and cloud syncing aren't actively managed, your clients' sensitive data is left vulnerable. In this tutorial, we cover how to set up data leakage prevention (DLP) configurations for your clients using MSP Central.

Rogue device intrusion has become a nightmare for admins running modern IT infrastructures. While these infrastructures are already under constant attack from several malicious entities, other factors like BYOD policies, IoT, and shadow IT make it a challenge to know about every connected device. Even with vigilant security measures in place rogue devices can seep through the cracks.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, organizations around the world have rapidly adopted remote work policies, making email communication more important than ever for disparate teams to collaborate. This has made it convenient for threat actors to launch email-based cyberattacks. The FBI has issued a public service announcement in which it revealed that it is anticipating business email compromise (BEC) attacks related to the COVID-19 crisis to increase. Hence, it's imperative for businesses to strengthen email security to mitigate email-borne threats.
